Yesterday we had a fantastic meeting here in Winnipeg. Lots of great speakers, music, skits, food. A friend of mine who's very involved with the Hands Off Venezuela campaign came up and spoke, we watched the DVD "Venezuela Bolivariana: People and Struggle of the Fourth World War". Had some discussion. Sold some DVDs and books, including Alan Woods AMAZING book about the Venezuelan Revolution.
What I'm asking you people here today is:
Get involved.
The Hands Off Venezuela campaign is a fantastic international movement in solidarity with the Venezuelan people, their right to self determination, and wholeheartedly against US intervention in their democratic political process.
There may already be something in your area. FIND OUT.

http://www.handsoffvenezuela.org/venezuela_mailing_list... If theres nothing in your area, START SOMETHING. It's so incredibly easy you can't even imagine. Get in contact with the wonderful people who organize HOV, talk to people, play the DVD for your friends and relatives, spread the education and information. Get in contact with me, I can give you any help or information you need, if you'd rather go that way.
Just please, get involved. This goes beyond party lines, political affiliations, and boils down to the right of the people of Latin America to self-determination, self government, and a democratic process of their own choosing in their own way. These are rights we can NOT allow anyone to take from them, and these are rights we should ALL be fighting for. By fighting for the people of Venezuela, even if it's just educating yourself and a couple around you, you are promoting and stabilizing the rights of humanity to create new societies in which direct voice and direct action is possible.
SET A PRECEDENT.
Choose to speak up, please.
